Is God playing favorites with His gifts? Why does the servant who buried his talent get condemned while the others are praised? What if the real issue isn't about earning God's approval, but about whether we trust that God is actually a good gift-giver? What exactly are the “talents” anyway? Watch the full video on YouTube to discover why God's gifts aren't fragile things to hide and protect, but endless sources of grace meant to produce more and more forgiveness for real sinners. #higherthings #lcms #lutheran #lent If you have questions or topics that you'd like discussed on Higher Things, email them to content@higherthings.org Subscribe to our channel to get notifications when we go live: http://youtube.com/@HTgospel4all To support the work of Higher Things®, visit https://higherthings.org/morehi/giving/ For more information about Higher Things, go to http://higherthings.org ------ Join the conversation on Social Media: http://facebook.com/higherthings http://instagram.com/higherthings https://www.tiktok.com/@higherthings
